(More customer reviews)I was hoping this would be a great product, but was left rather underwhelmed. On first look, the Nesco American Harvest JB-50 2-in-1 Juicer/Blender, White with Green Trim is attractive but doesn't appear to be made from top notch materials, except, perhaps for the nice, heavy glass pitcher. The plastics of the juicer are fine, so I have no big problem with them. However, the plastic, green latches that hold the juicer and blender onto the base are very cheap looking and feeling. I can only hope they're made out of some space-age technology and they're more durable than they seem.
While the blender looks great, unfortunately with only two speeds and pulse, it doesn't work very well at all. I even tried one of the recipes included in the instruction booklet and was left with a chunky drink that needed to be more pulverized. In my application, the blender could only be used with softer foods and liquids, and though it says it can crush ice, I seriously doubt it'd do a good job. The juicer ended up working better, with a decent amount of juice, and left less excess waste than I thought it would. Although the pulp ends up more around the filter sieve than in the bin. One other bad thing is the shoot is pretty small, so fruits and veggies have to be cut smaller than other juicers, which means more preparation. There is some good: suction cups that keep the machine from moving around while in use and the latches must be locked for the product to work, so mishaps aren't likely to happen. Switching out from the blender to the juicer and vice versa is a smooth operation and takes no time at all. The recipes are actually quite good and I will try others out eventually. I didn't find it too hard to clean, but it would have been nice had they included a cleaning brush for the filter sieve.
This isn't tops in either juicing or blending departments, but it might be a decent starter for those who haven't juiced before or casual users who would like both appliances in one product. As for me, I might break out the juicer for small jobs, but I'll likely stick with the big guns in the future.
